I am sure everyone travelling through Shivaji Park must have noticed this place- I certainly have, ever since its opened but don't know why i didn't bother trying out inspite of being a Thai food junkie.
Last weekend, I finally tried it out on a friends recommendation- who is a regular here. It looks much more contemporary and minimal from the outside but it is quite luxurious in terms of the decor and seating- nice comfortable, almost victorian chairs.
My friend did mention that you will get pretty much any imported alchohol here. But what was nice to see was that as soon as we got seated. The waiter came in with a really fancy wooden trolley with all the possible liquor that you can imagine. Their collection of whiskies did impress me for sure.
So it was Famous Grouse on the rocks for me, others ordered a Jack Daniels, Rusty Nails, Magarita, a Long Island Ice Tea and a Maibu on the rocks. The cocktails were really good, so I decided to shift to Rusty Nail after my first drink - I enjoyed that one thoroughly.
Now for the food - I loved all the seafood preparations, they turned out to be much better than the chicken preparations we ordered. I totally pigged out on the prawns and the squids.
Good food, Stiff Drinks coupled with a non-pretentious, humble staff made the evening really special.
Highly recommended for seafood & a quality experience.
